I think it would be useful both for users and developer to report/receive feedback through an alr
command. For example, when someone tries to alr get <crate>
and build fails, it would be necessary to report this to the crate maintainer.
Needless to say that this kind of errors are terribly frustrating and the worst user experience. In my particular case, this happened to me when I tried alr get lvgl_ada_examples
. As build fails with a message that, as a user, I cannot manage (error: Configuration variable 'lvgl_ada.density_per_inch not set and has no default value.
), I think it would be necessary to be reported in an easy way.
Reports could be either
alr --report
could allow the user to choose from a list of reasons to report, plus additional comments,In both cases, reports could be sent to the issue management system used by the crate repository, for example.
I'm quite sure crate maintainers will appreciate this feedback from users.
Are there plans to implement such a functionality?
In the case of lvgl_ada_examples
, should I report this error here?
